What’s in this Halloween Sangria Recipe?
Citrusy white wine, warming apple cider, and tart sour apple schnapps create a balanced and delicious “Poison Apple” sangria that’ll wow guests with both its flavor and presentation.
White Wine: The base of our sangria. I recommend something dry with citrus and fruit notes. Avoid anything too sweet or too buttery. A Vinho Verde, Sauvignon Blanc, or Pinot Grigio would all be good options. Apple Cider: Adds a bit of apple flavor along with warmth, spice, and a bit of sweetness. I highly recommend using apple cider, not apple juice. Sour Apple Schnapps: Adds the tart apple flavor and bright green color to our sangria. Apple: We’re adding green apple to the sangria to really enhance the poison apple theme! Cinnamon + Star Anise: Help infuse the sangria with even more warmth and spice notes that pair deliciously with the apple cider.
Pro Tip: Make sure you’re using apple cider, not apple cider vinegar!
Variations on Spooky Halloween Sangria
This poison apple sangria is easy to change up to suit your personal tastes. If you’re more of a red wine person, try using a fruity red like pinot noir in place of the white wine; raspberry liqueur in place of the sour apple schnapps; and a red apple in place of the green! If you’re looking for another spooky cocktail, try this Poison Apple Martini too!
